We have had the privilege over the three weeks to be
traveling and sharing the story of what God is doing on the Africa South
Field.

We have traveled close to 3,500 Miles/ 5,600 Kilometers, Peter has spent
over 45 hours in his car seat, we have spoken at 7 churches, 1 home group,
attended one pastor and spouses retreat, we have stayed in 6 homes, 1 hotel, 1
retreat center and 1 Nazarene Camp. We have driven through Florida, Alabama, Mississippi,
Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Kansas, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, and
Michigan.We have been able to see old
friends, and family and make some new friends.We have shared the story of what God is doing on the Africa South Field
and we have heard the story of what God is doing in the lives and ministries of
our friends and partners.God has
protected, provided and sustained us and for that we are grateful, thankful and
we are blessed.

Peter is doing awesome.His first cold turned into his first ear infection but other than that
he has been our happy healthy baby boy, a baby boy who is crawling quickly
toward being a toddler.He is over 10
months old now.He will stand for hours
on end if we would let him.He is now
walking along furniture and as long as he has our hands or his hands on the next
piece of furniture he will transition from one piece to the next.He is eating more and more solid foods.He loves his fruits and veggies.And he is getting pretty good at feeding
himself.He loves to “talk/babble.”He has been enjoying the baby swings in the
various parks we have found nearby where we are staying.

The next few weeks we will be spending some time in Michigan
and we will be spending two weeks traveling in Wisconsin before heading to
Indiana.We are attempting to eat at a
restaurant that starts with every letter of the alphabet during our
travels.Not real sure if we are going
to get to cross the letter X off the list but we will have fun trying.

Until Next Time Remember- You can only take it with you when
you go if it actually makes it into the van…We have been leaving things behind
throughout our travels….mostly Peter’s stuff.We can’t seem to get him to keep up with his stuff yet (J) `
